Benefits of technology

The patent is about a passenger service unit for aircraft that allows for the efficient and flexible installation of various functional modules without the need to constantly adjust their positions. The interior component, which connects to a passenger service channel, allows for the reduction of overlengths in the connection lines and simplifies the installation process. Overall, this design reduces the weight and installation space required for the aircraft and allows for easy retrofitting of existing aircraft.

Problems solved by technology

If the functional modules are installed with reference to the entire passenger compartment, because of cumulative component tolerances of the functional modules, over the entire length of the passenger compartment of an aircraft this can result in very considerable fluctuation of the positions of the functional modules.

Abstract

An interior component for an interior room of an aircraft is provided. The interior component includes a body having a first surface and a second surface and a multitude of functional modules which form a passenger service unit. The second surface is arranged opposite to the first surface and comprises a recess. The multitude of functional modules are arranged one after another in the recess in the longitudinal direction of the interior component, such that a first front surface of the functional module arranged frontally in the longitudinal direction closes flush with a first front surface of the body.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the priority of the German Patent Application No. 10 2014 101 895.8, filed Feb. 14, 2014; which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The subject matter described herein generally relates to an interior component for an aircraft and to an aircraft comprising such an interior component and more specifically relates to an interior component for an aircraft that comprises a recess in which a multitude of functional modules for supplying one or several passengers are arranged.BACKGROUND[0003]In vehicles designed for passenger transport, in particular for the transport of a plurality of passengers, for example in an aircraft passenger compartment, functional modules are arranged above the passenger seats; i.e., in the overhead region above the passengers, which functional modules supply passengers with, for example, light, air, emergency oxygen, or information.[0004]The functional modul...
